Intelligentsia Coffee
lifeserial:
Remember how I was just yammering about Intelligentsia, my favorite coffeehouse in L.A.? I just discovered a short film series shot at their Venice, CA location. It’s so artsy that I could scream and—yes, Tumblr—cry.
Fer the love of coffee, check this out!

Fuck - Kindergarden, on the bus home, heard it from the Howard twins, they were a year ahead of me and were also the only black (is that ok to use?) kids on the bus route so that made them like 5 years ahead of the rest of us cool wise.

It’s a game of Jeopardy covering your lifetime’s trivia.
We're great with names.
Coinciding with the fact that Nelson literally translates to “son of Nels” (my great-great-great-great-grandfather, Nels Inor), my family seems to be great at literal naming.
Dad had a horse named Friday (born on a Friday)
and a cow named Wednesday (born on a Wednesday)
Mom had a female dog named Cooter
my first dog will be named Dog

Want to major in trivia.
“The term trivia (singular trivium, adjective trivial) refers to the three lower Liberal Arts, i.e. grammar, rhetoric and logic. These were the topics of basic education, foundational to the quadrivia of higher education, and hence the term by extension came to refer to material of basic education, of interest only to undergraduates.”

She asked if I liked my hair, and I said “eh…” and she said “not when it’s curly, right?” She told me that I shouldn’t wash...

I'm terrible at writing thank you notes.
I’m both late and incessantly terrible with sentiment. It takes 30 minutes to fill up the bottom half of a card when all I want to do is follow Marilyn Monroe’s template. It’s even worse when I have to write one for a $125 check. Does the signee want me to spend frivolously or save, save, save? I’ve started a TexEdit doc to transcribe my notes and hope they both remember...

AT the Ballard Farmers’ Market in Seattle on a recent weekend, passers-by could be forgiven for thinking John Morefield was running for political office. Smiling, waving and calling out hellos to everyone who walked by his stand, he was the picture of friendliness. All he needed was campaign buttons and fliers. In fact, Mr. Morefield, 29, is no...
